...I came across these whilst looking for stocking fillers that I could suggest to Santa.
There are 6 little books all fitted into a box that looks like the picture ciao is showing. On the back of the box in the left bottom corner it has the playhouse Disney symbol. (yellow mickey mouse head shape with playhouse Disney written across)
On the front of each book is written "Disney My friends Tigger & Pooh" and has pictures from the series i.e. Pooh, Tigger Eeyore, Piglet and Darby and the dog (Although they are not the same characters on each book). There is also the playhouse Disney symbol.

• audio books – both abridged and unabridged – the cost of buying these is out of many people’s reach – two of mylibrary services make a small charge for borrowing these (30p/50p for an audiobook for 3 weeks) but they are free for blind and visually impaired people, and in Camden, for children’s audios (including the Harry Potters).

• Music CDs for a small charge – when I first started borrowing music...
